Hi Everyone, Just wanted to let everyone know that I had my six week checkup. Dr. Clough said I was doing great and was very proud of me for the weight I have lost. He said I was not able to start a exercise program. He asked how long has it been since I was under 200lbs I wasnt even mad I was happy I said 22years ago when I got married I was 180. I see Lynn at the Dietitian and she also told me I that I was doing great and I was 15% ahead of schedule. She said I could start trying more foods. Cereal is a big one I cant wait. She said just becareful. I cant stand dairy products right now. She also told me that I lost all body fat and no muscle. YIPPIE now for the big moment I have Now lost 42 pound in total before and since surgery . I am so excited I might be able to have another sleep study in Dec to see if I can get rid of the cpap machine. I cant stand the machine. well I have said enough just wanted everyone to know my WOW moment. BARB

What a great report Barb! Your moving right along! How are you doing with your protein intake? Did the Dr. say when you'll be able to start your exercise program? That will really make a difference on the scale! I'm on hold for exercising too, but mine is due to my protein & hydration levels. Before long we'll be running in circles and following Pam through the Corn Mazes! LOL Keep up the great work! Blessings, Yvonne

Awesome, Awesome Barb!! Keep it going! I was able to go back to Curves at 6 weeks and I am loving it. They never said anything about the fat/muscle loss at Maine Bariatric, what is up with that? I have my 3 month on Oct 2nd, so I will be sure to ask!! Hope you can get off the CPAP soon! Thank Goodness, I don't have to deal with that!
